Hi all,
I have a vintage sailor style coat that is labeled Chiha-Rosenfeld, Inc.
It is wool and it is not lined. Any help dating this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I really lean towards this coat dating to the 60s based on the sailor collar, square pockets in front, and the sleeve length which looks a tad shorter than full length but the overall length and shape of the coat as it appears on your form was seen in the 70s also so it's possible it could date to the early 70s, I think more likely mid to later 60s though. The company profile shows this company was first incorporated in 1959, looks like they partnered in 1973 changing their name, and then changed their name again in 1976.

and here is a 1975 ad for a Chiha-Rosenfeld wrap that has no resemblance to your coat in style but is from the same maker.
